Development and Validation of an Analytical Method for Quantitative Determination of Carboxylic Acids in Air Samplers

AbstractThe aim of this article was to realize a method for the determination and separation of formic and acetic acids in air samplers. For this purpose, an analytical ion chromatography method was developed, optimized under various measurement conditions and then validated. Selectivity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision and accuracy of the method were determined for the validation process. The resulted method can separate and determine the interested compounds, is fast, simple to reproduce and involves low reagent's costs
